I often hear, “Dear Jonathan, your web-page does not display correctly in Internet Explorer …”.

My response would be “Install a browser that supports web standards correctly, rather than some old, virtually unmaintained, obsolete, insecure, piece of crap.

In all fairness, I make my money with Microsoft software, but web browsing shouldn’t be the mess it is. Think of the people you know who have 300 pieces of spyware on their machines. “But I didn’t download anything !!”

Microsoft illegally leveraged a monopoly to wipe out Netscape. Luckily for them, Netscape’s browser was a bloated piece of crap, that turned web-browsing into something like trying to use System 7 on a Powermac 6100. A crash a day experience that probably turned people off the Mac forever.

Now, there is Opera, and Firefox. Both are free as in beer, but Firefox is free as in speech.

More people hit this site with Firefox than with IE. Thank-you. And 20% are on Linux! Windows are the SuXx0rs !!
